Being a truly global city, Bangkok has a lot to offer. The concrete jungle that is Bangkok is so large that it dwarves any other cityscape the entire country has to offer in regards to size as well as importance. Many people from all over the world visit Bangkok to either experience many of the attractions within the city, or to simply embark on a shopping spree. As a result there are many hotels and resorts available, such as Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort which is a centralised Bangkok spa resort.
Despite the appeal of the city, most people require an escape from the chaos of the city to rejuvenate them with the natural serenity Thailand has to offer. There are many incredible places close to Bangkok where you can embark on a day out.
If you’d like to simultaneously get some fresh air and check out a hundred-year-old agora that still manages to remain relevant, then visit the Samchuk Market. It is located about an hour’s drive away, in the Suphanburi province, and upon arrival should immediately enchant you with its rustic wooden architecture and diverse range of stalls.
Once you’re done with your unique shopping experience, you might want to consider dropping by the temple with a most peculiar name, Wat Leng Noei Yi 2. The temple is located in the Nonthaburi province, and is of Chinese Buddhist faith. It is a fairly recent addition and was completed only in 2008. Since there are temples in Thailand more than a thousand years old, it would be an interesting change of pace to visit one that is not even ten years of age.
If you are visiting such places it is really fulfilling since there are so many other notable attractions located very close to them. The Samchuk Market for example is next to the incredible natural lake and aquarium, Bueng Chawak, as well as the Buffalo Villages.
If you’re looking for a mini-adventure outside of Bangkok, there are many places for your consideration.
